During the third quarter we have actively engaged with numerous companies supporting them to identify specific use cases that require touch interaction, mid-air interaction or object sensing solutions. Our mission is to help OEMs to unlock growth by fueling innovation and driving differentiation from their peers. We see an acceleration of technology evaluation activities from companies who are seeking solutions to satisfy design requirements for new systems and products.  We are now providing technical support, design samples and prototypes to companies in numerous segments including automotive, medical, consumer electronics, white goods, aeronautics and smart surfaces for retail stores,” said Hakan Persson, CEO of Neonode. 

“I am pleased to report that we are making progress with both existing and new customers and that the pace of activities is accelerating. In sensor modules, we see new customers starting to move to the production stage, while license customers are designing new modules with release dates over the next 12 to 24 months. I am confident that we will grow both our licensing business and execute on our strategic plan to add B2B sensor module sales,” concluded Mr. Persson.
